Hello my lovely lot! Yve, gave me a shout and let me know that many of you have been thinking of me and once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Its been so very tough. My father died of Cancer in August. He was diagnosed 9 weeks prior and that, as they say was that. I miss him so...

Thank you all so much for continuing to think of me. It means so much. I'm chugging away as best I can and trying really hard. Xx

I am at home. I am alive. That's all I can say now guys. Thank you all for caring. Xx

Hello girls. I'm so sorry that I have not been online lately.... Things have taken a drastic turn. I was urgently referred to an Eating Disorder Clinic by my GP who was worried about my drastic weight loss; I now weigh 5 stone 11lbs. I felt that I needed some form of therapy and while I...

Firstly, thank you once again. I know you all care and when posting replies to such threads the time taken to respond appropriately is greatly appreciated. Secondly, I want you all to know that I do try to eat "the correct" foods. I have a lot of Soya milk which is high in protein and as I...

Nicola, I have often felt that when I was obese life was far more straightforward. I didn't expect anything of myself in terms of appearance or health. It did not matter that I ate due to emotional pressures or grazed on junk food all day long. What was an extra 7lbs in weight gain this week? I...

Its again at times like this that I am so thankful that I have this site. I know I have not been on much lately but when I do pop on, whether I need you or not; I always leave with something that has enlightened me in someway. I don't need your permission, I know you know that. But it still...

But what does that make me? Selfish? I am wrestling with that reality now; doing what will enable me to live with my Bypass for the foreseeable future or what will keep my loved ones happy. They see my bones and are full of fear. I see my bones and look at them as reasons to fight even harder...

To be honest Fem, it was just a bit of an experiment. I wanted to try something, anything and see what the outcome would be. I should have videoed the episode, then I could have played it back for all of you and we could have had a good laugh at my multiple facial expressions and groans! It did...

Oh Chrisa, I forgot to say that both Emma and your daughter look beautiful! Xx

I spoke to Amy the Dietician this morning and to be honest she didn't say anything "spectacular". I suppose I was hoping she would. I ate a bit of bagel, chewed to within an inch of its life today and passed out for 2 hours. Haha! You have to laugh. At the time is was very scary but since waking...

Well my dears, here I am. I wish, wish, wish I had some new and exciting news for you but life has not really moved on and for that reason I have avoided posting. I am 6 stone 4/3lbs today. I don't really know as the scale is no longer worth using. I did get rid of it some time ago as you...

Hello gang! I am as well as I can be, I won't say any more than that because well, this tale is a long and boring one now. Tell me something going on I your lives. Let's shake this thread up a bit! Haha!

Hey gang! Can I ask a quick question? I am now almost 8 weeks post op. When drinking, should still be getting this chronic full feeling for so long? I know we are all different so I ask with that in mind. I just wanted to get a rough idea. Does it matter if the drinks are cold or hot?

Happy new year to you all too, I hope 2015 is a magical year for all of you, even if it doesn't quite pan out the way you had anticipated. I am well, I was gifted a very expensive, just utterly awesome slow juicer by a friend a couple of days ago which will help to supercharge my nutrition. I...

Oh She has grown so much Chrisa! Her eyes and that hair! Haha! What a beaut!

You guys are the best. So much encouragement in one place is just what the doctor ordered! Ha! I will be honest and say that today was hard mentally. I spent most of it camped out on the sofa while my son and his pal played video games in a bid to keep my kind active. It was a good laugh and I...

Those old demons are b**stards! Haha! I never swear but I know all to well how the food calls to you when the voices in your head take hold of their miniature speaker phones and won't stop talking. You can get through it though my live, take a breath and don't beat yourself up. Don't wait for...

Merry Christmas all! I hope you are enjoying the festive season and not letting the food demons get the best of you. And by that I mean, I hope you are allowing yourselves a real if you want it and not feeling guilt or going overboard. I know it isn't easy, my husband bought a vast selection...

Oh and I realise that herbal tea isn't particularly calorific either just more so than water at about 4 calories. Ha! Every little helps.
